EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Miss Grimes (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Miss Grimes the Sweeps Daughter") from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the early 1910s. In the image, we see a young girl, Miss Grimes, sitting on the floor, her face contorted with frustration as she plays The Round Game of Happy Families. The game, a popular parlor pastime during the Victorian era, involved matching cards featuring illustrations of happy families. Miss Grimes' attire reflects her humble background as a sweep's daughter. Her plaited hair is adorned with ribbons and bows, while her green and white fringe dress is covered in soot and dirt. A brush lies nearby, suggesting that she has recently finished her daily chore of sweeping the chimneys. Despite her unhappy expression, the photograph captures the essence of childhood, with its moments of joy and frustration, work and play. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of children during the 1910s. The Round Game of Happy Families was a simple yet engaging activity that brought families and friends together, offering a respite from the harsh realities of daily life. Miss Grimes' determined expression as she plays the game underscores the importance of perseverance and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
